Do I need a Personal Assistant at home or small business?

Yes, it’s a thing. Not just for the rich and famous.

On a serious note though, as a Home Personal Assistant, I need to be able to anticipate my client’s needs, before they even think about it. Always an hour, a week, a month ahead of the current time. After all, it’s an assistant’s job to make your life easier right? And I LOVE doing this. I love the look of surprise when a client says ‘I didn’t think about that’ or ‘Well, aren’t you organised for thinking about that this early on’

My job is to help regular people manage their busy lives. Help them take back control and actually get on with the fun stuff, whilst I work away in the background doing all of the stuff they don’t have the time or the inclination to do.

What is a Home Personal Assistant/Virtual Assistant?

All of my client’s are different, and therefore have different needs. But the main statement that I hear when I have my initial free consultation with them is ‘I just don’t have time’ To be honest, this spans across most of my business model. Everyone is trying to be The Best Mum, The Best Manager, The Best Daughter/Friend, The Best blooming EVERYTHING.

And do you know what’? It’s not a sustainable way to be. Your body and more importantly your mind can only take a certain amount before it cracks. And here is where I step in.

Think about all of the things that you find yourself writing on your ‘To Do List’ that you just think ‘Why can’t someone else do that for me?’
You might already pay someone to do your cleaning, because, let’s face it, it’s a job you’d rather not do yourself.

You might have a gardener or pay someone to wash your car. You might even pay Tesco, Ocado, Sainsbury’s or Asda to deliver your shopping…because… here comes that saying again ‘I just don’t have time’

With my ‘Home PA’ Service, I take on the jobs that you procrastinate about for weeks or even months, and then forget about all together. Let me give you a few examples.

  • Renewing your home/car/pet insurance (when was the last time you actually checked if you’re overpaying?)
  • Finding a new cleaner who is trust worthy and recommended
  • Booking parking for your upcoming holiday
  • Researching presents for your Parent’s 40th wedding anniversary
  • Finding a reputable Will Writing company (I can’t emphasise how much you should NOT put this off)
  • Finding the perfect gift for your Wife’s birthday
  • This is just the tip of the iceberg. My other services include
  • Diary management
  • Admin support/Paperwork
  • Introducing you to Life changing/Time saving apps
  • Help to digitalise your business
  • Plan ahead for the coming month
  • Research weekends away/Holidays
  • Find Transportation for your upcoming Hen/Stag do
  • Plan parties/source contractors/arrange decorations
  • Set up monthly reminders on Moonpig.com for upcoming birthdays (Never forget a Birthday again)
  • Digitalise your address book
  • Much much more

If you find yourself overwhelmed every month and running out of time, then there is no better time to give me a call for a quick chat to see if I can help you. Most of my clients require me for as little as one hour a month just to sit with them and go through the upcoming month.

I have clients that we do 2 hours every quarter, and some who just like to do a one-off blasting session to get them back on track. Whatever your needs are, I can help you. After all, that’s what I do. EVERTHING. And If I don’t do it, I can find you someone else who can. (I don’t clean ovens… not even my own)
